Smart microgrids (SMGs), as cyber–physical systems, are essential parts of smart grids. The
SMGs' cyber networks facilitate efficient system operation. However, cyber failures and …

A methodology for planning the optimal reliability indices of system components for a
composite electric power system based on state sampling non-sequential Monte Carlo …

With deregulation of electricity sector, maintenance and reliability of power system network
has become a major challenging task for an independent system operator. The power …

In deregulated electricity market environment, the power system works with lower stability
margin due to demand fluctuations. Therefore, in restructured power systems all generation …

In this paper, an algorithm is presented to obtain the parameters of reward and penalty
schemes (RPSs) for each electric company using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). This …

Average interruption duration, interruption duration per year and failure rate at a load point
are the basic reliability indices required to be evaluated. These indices depend on failure …

In conventional reliability analysis, the duration of interruptions relied on the input parameter
of mean time to repair (MTTR) values in the network components. For certain criteria without …

Due to the fact that automation can significantly improve reliability of substation as well as
distribution system, this paper presents a composite reliability assessment model of …

This study introduces a new theoretical interruption model for assessing more accurately the
moment in time when interruptions of electricity customers are likely to occur. Recordings of …

The development of accurate component outage models for reliability assessment in power
systems is a fundamental problem. Traditional outage models with constant failure rate …
